CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (Renewal): An Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Program with Technical and Managerial Paths

安全培训已成为社会弹性的基础，往往是组织有效性的必要条件。纽约州立大学布法罗分校（UB）是指定的国家网络安全教育学术卓越中心（CAE）和网络安全研究中心（CAE- r）。UB将利用这一安全基础，参与网络军团：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，为进入联邦劳动力队伍的高素质网络安全专业人员做好准备。该项目以一个成功的项目为基础，开发了一个基于安全最佳实践、体验式学习和应用研究的综合网络安全课程。它将通过将项目范围扩大到包括本科生和招收研究生来开发通往网络安全的真正途径。该项目还计划激励初高中学生成为安全问题解决者和安全专业人员。该项目将在布法罗大学数学和法律的支持下，通过计算机科学、工程和管理科学的教师参与，为学者们提供增强的跨学科网络安全经验。该项目将在勒索软件、区块链技术和信息真实性的现有研究基础上，继续开发和维持一个成功的、广泛的网络安全计划。该项目将在技术和管理方面培训四组24名学生。为本科生开设网络安全辅修课程，为网络安全专业研究生开设高级证书。布法罗大学将利用布法罗地区计算机取证实验室（RCFL）最先进的资源，提供15门基于高水平经验的课程。这些课程包括软件测试、区块链应用开发、系统安全、网络安全、隐私、道德，以及一门为学生准备行业认证的综合信息保障课程。项目团队将通过当地少数族裔管理协会、纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟计划以及管理、工程和科学领域的女性团体，积极吸引代表性不足的群体，招募学生，并在布法罗举办网络安全意识研讨会。与当地产业的合作将为人工智能、分析和区块链技术等新兴领域提供教育机会和人才发展。这些利益相关者参与的机会将扩大项目网络安全工作在社区中的影响。该项目由CyberCorps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划支持，该计划为建立或继续网络安全奖学金计划的提案提供资金，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以培养优秀的网络安全劳动力。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织的网络安全部门工作，工作时间与奖学金支持时间相同。  该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Security training has become the foundation of societal resilience, often necessary for organizational effectiveness. The State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is a designated National Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in cybersecurity education and a CAE in cybersecurity research (CAE-R). UB will leverage this security foundation by participating in the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly qualified cybersecurity professionals to enter the federal workforce. This project builds on a successful program and develops a comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum based on security best practices, experiential learning, and applied research. It will develop authentic pathways to cybersecurity by expanding the program's scope to include undergraduate students and by recruiting students for graduate studies. This project also plans to inspire middle and high school students to become security problem solvers and security professionals. The project will provide scholars with an enhanced, interdisciplinary cybersecurity experience by engaging faculty from computer science, engineering and management sciences with support from mathematics and law at UB. This project will continue to develop and sustain a successful, broad cybersecurity program by building on existing research on ransomware, blockchain technology, and information authenticity. The project will train 24 students in four cohorts in both technical and managerial paths. A minor in cybersecurity will be offered for undergraduate students and an advanced certificate for graduate students specializing in cybersecurity. UB will leverage the state-of-the-art resources in Buffalo's Regional Computer Forensics Lab (RCFL) to offer 15 high-level experience-based courses. These courses include Software Testing, Blockchain Application Development, Systems Security, Network Security, Privacy, Ethics, and an integrative Information Assurance course that will prepare students for industry certification. The project team will actively engage underrepresented groups through the local Minority Management Society, the SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program, and the Women in Management and Engineering and Science groups to recruit students and conduct cybersecurity awareness workshops in Buffalo. Partnerships with local industries will allow educational opportunities and talent development in the emerging domains of artificial intelligence, analytics, and blockchain technology. These stakeholder engagement opportunities will broaden the impact of the project’s cybersecurity efforts within the community. This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.  This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
